Koakuma HeavenGACKTNot thrilled
Gackt's quality has been slowly diminishing since Jesus came out, and these new singles really aren't giving me much hope for another Mars. I'd love to see him be creative and interesting again.

Paraiso [Limited Release]Haruomi Hosono & Yellow Magic BandA classic
I wasn't familiar with this album or Harry Hosono until I bought it at Mitsuwa, but right when the first track Tokyo Rush kicked in I knew I found something amazing. It's an old album, way ahead of it's time in my opinion. It's difficult to describe, almost reminds me of Herbie Hancock's Headhunter but with an exotic retro Japanese flair. It's truly unique, give it a listen!

Uroboros [Limited Edition, 2CD]Dir en greyImpressive
I kept my expectations for this album high, and I was not disappointed. Right off the bat it showed itself to be unique with it's original sound and concept; I enjoyed Marrow of a Bone, but this overshadows it. Uroboros is an amazingly crafted album by one of Japan's greatest bands.

I can't wait to hear what he's got up his sleeve this time - judging by the title this should be pretty interesting. The cover makes me think of zombies lol.

Glass Skin [Cardboard Sleeve] [Limited Edition]Dir en greyHopefully
It isn't just a live version of Maggots, but a legit acoustic redo! While I was a bit disappointed that the last version wasn't what was advertised, I think they'll come through on this.

Uroboros [Limited Edition, 2CD]Dir en greyBetter deal
While the ultra-expensive edition looks exciting, for the money, it's a bit pricey. I'm not a giant Diru fan, but I like them enough to spend $40 on an album.

nine * nine [w/ DVD, Limited Release]GacktMoar Gackt!
When it comes to a new Gackt release, price isn't an issue. IT'S GACKT! I'd pay more for this! Then again I might be getting this as a birthday present xD.

ROCK THE FUTURE TOUR 2000-2001Tomoyasu HoteiAwesome!
Hotei is an artist that has strength doing live shows and recordings equally. This album is fantastic - great music and atmosphere that gives you the feel of one of Hotei's lives! Highly recommended!
